Wrote a 101 on ONDC for everyone who's intrigued by the concept. Also, if you are working on any aspect of #ONDC or know of any small sellers/merchants who would benefit from it - we would love to speak with you. Do read and share!
ONDC stands for Open Network for Digital Commerce. It is been largely compared to the commerce giants like Amazon and Flipkart. So is it true? Do we really need ONDC and why? What key challenges do we forecast? Here is a small thread for a quick analysis-

These interviews are a wealth of insights on how women think about finances. Susan, our respondent, believes that unless every member of the family is involved in hhd budget decisions, they will not abide by it. Democratic system for a reason. Read - d91labs.substack.com/p/-3-su…
Replying to @d91labs
Her take on financial decision making for the households displays her understanding of financial incentives and the need to balance everyone's needs to reach a collective desirable outcome!

In this article, I discuss the gender disparity in financial inclusion in India. To bridge the gap we need to design gender-sensitive products, have more female banking correspondents, and publish gender-sliced data on financial inclusion. livemint.com/opinion/online-…

9 yo was very amused to learn that the Roman Empire was invaded by the Goths. He couldn't stop laughing at the thought of Roman legions being vanquished by skinny, pale teenagers.

This thread by a Kota alumnus on Kota Factory. Spot on 🎯
"Kota Factory" keeps glorifying the exclusivity & difficulty level of IIT-JEE through its protagonist Jeetu who makes it clear: "Don't go for IIT solely because there is no life without it or they teach well. Go for it because it is tough. Tough battles give you confidence" 1/10

A friend of a friend at Google interviewed at Facebook right as the virus hit. Accepted new job in March. Didn’t quit old job. Apparently does both jobs at home in 55 hours/week. Neither company knows yet. Might have reversed the co’s, not sure. I have so many thoughts on this.

Abraham Lincoln paid 3x more in taxes in 1864 than Donald Trump in 2016. Not more as a share of his income. More in taxes. Lincoln paid $1981.67 in federal taxes on a salary of $25,000 in 1864-1865. Trump paid $750 in 2016, about one-third what Lincoln paid, but 151 years later. – at North Kensington, MD
